Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first hotel would be liable to reimburse Andrea for the amount she had to pay at the second hotel in excess of the cost of the room at the first hotel because they were at fault for overbooking and causing her to incur additional costs. Mental anguish and the full hotel bill paid by Andrea at the second hotel may not be directly attributable to the first hotel's mistake and therefore they would not necessarily be liable for the full costs incurred. Hence, option B is the best choice.
